I DO NOT WANT TO TANDEM, also, I have alread looked at www.skydiveportland.com and skydiveoregon.com and they both SUCK. They are the same company and I click on them and it says get certified and I call and they DO NOT DO IT AT PORTLAND and the closest place they said was 400 miles away in Idhao? I need some place around Oregon within a hour would be the best. Thanks.

Take a look at Eugene Skydivers. They are located in Creswell (about 15 minutes south of Eugene). I know it's not within the hour time frame you were looking for, but I've known several divers from their club and have always heard good things about them.
"Training for your first static line jump is 5 hours. Training for your first AFF jump is 6 to 8 hours"
"The most advanced and ambitious training is Accelerated Freefall (AFF). During a 5 hour class you'll learn everything included in the static line course plus how to control yourself in freefall and activate your own parachute. AFF is authorized by the United States Parachute Association (USPA) and is recognized around the world as the elite method of instruction for student skydives. $375 - one day training"
(Question is posted in two categories - so answered both in the event that one is deleted)
